I couldn’t see the rye dimensions in this as clearly as I’ve seen it in other rye beers, and that’s a good thing. It makes for a fairly classic IPA, one of a number of beers in Seattle that challenged my notion of the "West Coast" IPA style. Fine, but just fine. (on tap at brewpub)

On tap at Brouwer’s Hopfest 2011. Ruddy orange pour, with a smallish dense head. Good balance of hops and rye in here. Same balance in the flavor. Just a tad hoppier than other ryes I’ve had, which I like. Really drinkable, maybe just a *tad* dilute.
